St. Paul, MN (PressExposure) October 17, 2010 -- Dryer vent installation technician, Carl Hein, says dryer vent cleaning can reduce energy costs while preventing dryer fires and extending the life of your clothes dryer.
Technicians who work for Dryer Vent Wizard in the Twin Cities area are working to educate consumers on dryer fire safety and dryer efficiency. "Home owners who think its normal for their dryer to take more than one cycle to dry clothes are in danger of starting a fire due to clogged dryer vents," said Hein. "Increased drying time is the most common warning sign of restricted air flow. Too many people believe this means their dryer is worn out, so they continue using it while they shop for a new one. Dryer vent cleaning can eliminate this problem, no matter how old the dryer is."
Dryer Vent Wizard, Get the Lint Out is the largest chain of dryer vent cleaning specialists in the nation with nearly 60 locations in the U.S. Besides specializing in dryer vent installation and maintenance services, they also provide valuable tips and information to customers. "My job is not complete until my customer understands the importance of dryer vent cleaning and proper dryer vent installation," said Hein.
With rising energy costs, their role is to educate consumers as they provide dryer vent solutions. Dryer Vent Wizard services ensure clothes dryers are operating safely and efficiently. Poorly vented clothes dryers can cost an additional $300 per year to operate. Like all fuel burning appliances, gas dryers must be properly vented to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
Though failure to clean dryer vents is the number one cause of dryer fires, improper dryer vent installation can also be a hazard. Plastic or foil vents need to be replaced with solid metal venting.
